Reply #29: I had that happen to me.

They started calling and when I answered they would hang up. They thought I was hiding someone in my house and they were hoping that invisable person would finally answer the phone. This started after I told them about 20 times that it wasn't me, not my name, not my social but they had my phone number down with the wrong name and address.

I actually called the State Attorney General about this and there is a way to get it stopped thru their office - some form that you file. They are very proactive about this sort of harrassment. They also really get on telephone scams, too.

What I did was look in the phone book for the person they were really after and called them back and talked to a manager and gave them the information that way. And it stopped.

But then I felt guilty about giving up someone else. However the person they were after was listed in the white pages - same name and address so that all they would have had have done was just looked them up. That phone number was one number off from mine.
